My apologies if I was not clear or if I offended you. Exessive for me was when ANTMAIN with a service class of SYSTEM took ninety percent CPU for about two minutes while the flash copies were running. Anyway the problem is solved thanks to Graham Harris.

"A lot" of CPU time, I understand. "More than it used to", I understand. But "excessive" -- compared to what? If you ask for something to be done, whether explicitly or implicitly, it will take whatever amount of CPU time it takes. Maybe in the ANTMAIN case (I have no idea) you're lucky it's not done under your job and charged to you (as it perhaps could be). If you view the amount as excessive, you might choose not to do that something. The amount of processing done might be intentional and necessary. Or it might be a problem. You're of course welcome to inquire and it will be looked at. But there is no necessary correlation between inquiry and change. </end-open> Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
